Children’s first words illustrate the beginning of an exciting world of communicating with those around them. However, children also do a lot of communicating nonverbally. Learn the many ways that infants and toddlers use their eyes, hands, and body to communicate with those around them from before they can speak and into toddlerhood. There will also be a discussion about things parents can do to encourage nonverbal communication and potential benefits of gesturing.
